I have tried two (pretty much the same) variants of setting the value of m_iMaxHealth on clients:

SetEntProp(client, Prop_Data, "m_iMaxHealth", 500);
SetEntData(client, FindDataMapOffs(client, "m_iMaxHealth"), 500, 4, true);

They seem to change the value to 500, but TF2 still treats the extra health as a buff and degrades it over time. Is it no longer possible to change a players maximum health?

Im pretty sure you must set m_iHealth and m_iMaxHealth on a single player.

When you touch a resupply cabinet or anything like that, it will reset their max health back to the default. You also must set their max health on a timer after they spawn (their class information such as life, max health, weapons, etc aren't loaded on the same frame that they spawn in).

The following does not work:

public Action:Command_maxhealth(client, args) { SetEntProp(client, Prop_Data, "m_iMaxHealth", 500); SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iHealth", 500); ReplyToCommand(client, "Max health set to 500"); }

I tried it while away from resupply cabinets, and at least 20 seconds after respawn. It set my health to 500, but the health started decreasing.

I have not been able to get this to work for quite some time. As you said, the health ALWAYS degrades over time, no matter what you set m_iMaxHealth to or when you set it.

It used to work if you set both m_iMaxHealth and m_iHealth, but then that broke after one of the valve updates (I think it was the medic update).

I suspect TF2 might be checking the PlayerResource or some other location when determining whether to degrade the health

Use Prop_Send for m_iMaxHealth.

That doesn't work, you get this:

just add health equivalent to the amount of health being degraded to the max health specified and you should be golden. I know more code than you want but its tf2 and valve likes to give us a challenge.

[blakeoxx]

Well, I DID do that, but I think thats a lot more expensive and likely to break than just setting entity properties. :S

Actually, I just saved what the clients health should be, then a 0.1 timer sets the health to the value of that variable. I also used a player_hurt hook to change the health value.

bumpin this, any ideas? I'm running into the same problem.

Failing any way to actually set the max health, blake could you elaborate a bit on how you implemented periodically adding health to offset the degradation?

I tried hooking player_hurt event and also hooked TakeDamage via DukeHacks but neither are called when the player's health ticks down so blocking them doesnt help. Also had a look through TFPlayer entity properties and haven't been able to identify any flag that might indicate whether the health is ticking down or not.

I know it has to be possible somehow cause there's a server which runs a mod called "ammomod" based on SM and Dukehacks which has increased health that doesnt degrade naturally :O
